Oh, dude, motte and Bailey castles are like the fast food of castles - quick to build, but not super sturdy. Stone castles, on the other hand, are like the five-star hotels of castles - fancy, durable, and built to last. The main similarity is they're both castles, but one's like a cardboard box and the other's like a fortress.
Both square keep castles and bailey and motte castles serve as fortifications from the medieval period, designed to provide defense and residence for nobility. A square keep castle features a large stone tower as its central component, often surrounded by a curtain wall, while a bailey and motte castle consists of a raised earthwork mound (motte) topped with a wooden or stone structure, alongside an enclosed courtyard (bailey). The primary difference lies in their construction materials and design; square keep castles are more permanent and robust, while bailey and motte castles are typically simpler and easier to build. Despite these differences, both types of castles reflect the feudal system and the need for protection during turbulent times.
There are quite a few simerlarities between a Motte and Bailey castle and a Stone Keep castle: * Both types of castles have an curtain wall running around the side of the castle * They both also have a keep in the middle of the castle * In the area between the keep and the curtain wall is a few buildings like stables of guardrooms.
the first kind of castles were moat and bailey castles.

Motte and Bailey castles and Concentric castles
mott and baily castles were made out of wood and stone castles were made out of stone.
The castles that came after Motte and Bailey Castles were Stone Castles. This was an improvement to Motte and Bailey Castles because Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. Wood burns easily, rots quickly and isn't very strong. Stone castles, however were made of stone(obiously). Stone doesn't burn easily, doesn't rot and is very strong.
Concentric castles had baileys, an inner bailey and an outer bailey. The inner bailey was used for the peasants homes and the outer bailey was used for blacksmith workshops and other craftsmen's workshops.
they all did IT.
The bailey is the castle wall or the court of the castle
